Risk of skin cancer in multiple myeloma patients: a retrospective cohort study.

Immunosuppressed patients are known to have an increased incidence of skin cancer. Patients with multiple myeloma (MM) show impaired immune function. In the past, because of poor survival, the incidence of specific secondary primary malignancies such as skin cancer among these patients was difficult to establish.

Almost half of women with endometrial cancer or hyperplasia do not know that obesity affects their cancer risk.

• A group of low income, largely Hispanic women demonstrated poor knowledge of the adverse reproductive effects of obesity. • 53.5% of endometrial cancer/hyperplasia patients identified obesity as a risk factor for endometrial cancer.
